"I've been working on the railroad, all the live-long day!"
This train consists of a ALCO diesel locomotive (specifically a RSD-12 type) and four cars:
- a (working!) crane car
- depressed-center rail wagon
- a (working!) ballast hopper
- caboose
The model features several neat printed pieces found in several Juniors sets and six mini figures, including four generic track workers, one track boss / conductor and the locomotive engineer.
This model was originally a ALCO MRS-1 built by Anthony Sava, but has been so severely modified that it no longer looks like the prototype loco. So I went searching And found another ALCO locomotive, a RSD-12 that looks like my loco. Both my model and the prototype have the six wheels, and the same basic hood and cab design.
The long hood of the loco has been designated the rear with a double red light.
This stream crane model was heavily inspired by Whoward69's instructions for a set of crane and match truck train cars. I modified the original model seen here.
I originally meant for the crane to have ropes to move the boom, but it got confusing on which rope went where so for now it's moved by the H.O.G. (Hand Of God) method.
The crane can spin around in 360 degrees and lift anywhere up to 90 degrees straight up. (Their is a double set of pins keeping the boom from going too low, as well.) Here we see how the crane is hooked up to the depressed center flatcar most of the time.
The heavy-duty depressed-center wagon has brick-built arms to secure the cargo of railroad track in place.
This model was inspired by a coal hopper on an older website called LGauge .com. I tunrned the old finger hinges into new pin-orientated ones and colored the car yellow to match the MOW paint scheme.
The hopper's bottom door open and can dump 1 x 1 round plates / bricks onto the tracks for ballast.
The caboose features two ladders (one per side) and more of those fancy printed 2 x 4 tiles.
The mini-figures seen above are stationed on the MOW train.
As usual, Comments, Questions and Complaints are always welcome!!

Have you ever heard of Majhost, the non-Lego counterpart of Brickshelf?
Does anyone on here know what happened to it?
I remember when it went 'Down for Maintenance' early last year and nothing has happened since then.
There are thousands of pictures on here just waiting to go down the drain within just a few weeks!
Thanks.

Hi All,
I managed to get a used 7898 set, working just fine, but the power button on the engine does not seem to work, so I have to take out the batteries in order to power down the train, or the batteries drain over a day or so.
Any recommendation or pointers if it's possible to repair it?
I assume that it's supposed to turn off the power when pressed?
Thanks..

Hey guys.
This isn't anything truly spectacular, but I wanted to share it anyway. I got ahold of three Lego 4200 Mining 4x4's and modified them for railroad purposes.
I kept one stock, but added rail wheels and changed the tools. The second got a smaller bed and two tool cabinets, as well as two extra places for more tools, and the third got a cabinet and a small crane.
I happened to see a Hi-Rail truck with a crane on it while at work, and the idea took off from there. I also BrickLinked parts to make the four new-style rail workers in the photo.
Anyone else have some MoW equipment they want to show off?
